NAPLAN ASSESSMENTS

Next week all students in Years 3 and 5 will complete the annual NAPLAN assessments. We would

like to encourage all students to do their personal best and a great way of achieving this will be to

have a good sleep the night before each test. Testing will take place from Tuesday 12th to Thursday

14th May with Friday 15th as a catch up day. Please speak to your class teacher if you have any con-

cerns.

North-West Cricket Trials

Well done Zack & Dylan! Yesterday Zack Doring and Dylan

Smith travelled to Tamworth to participate in North-West

Regional cricket trials.

Both boys played exceptionally well and both were chosen

to be part of the North-West team to represent our region

at the State Championships. What an outstanding effort

boys! These two are the first boys ever to represent Wee

Waa Public School at State Level cricket.

Girls PSSA Netball Knockout Competition

On Monday the Girls PSSA Netball Team travelled to Burren Junction to play in the second round of the knockout competition.

The girls all played well taking the lead early in the game. Our defence players made sure that Burren Junction Public School

needed to work hard to get the ball in their goal circle. At the end of the fourth quarter we had won the game 24 – 0. What a

fantastic result!

I would like to congratulate the girls on their conduct while representing the school and the way in which they interacted with

the students of Burren Junction Public school.

Thank you to Kerry Crutcher who travelled with the girls to Burren Junction and also umpired the game. Thank you also to the

parents who travelled to watch the game and cheer on our girls.

The team will play in the third round of the competition later this month.

League Tag & Rugby League Gala Day

Our Year 5 & 6 students left for Narrabri this

morning for a day of fun football skill build-

ing. The girls will join other local schools for

a day of League Tag and the boys will be

playing modified Rugby League. Photos and

a full report will follow in next weeks News-

letter.

Students were accompanied by Mrs Dea-

con, Mrs Currey and Mr Toomey.

Art Extension

Last week we were fortunate to have Mrs Wendy

Cameron in to give us some lessons on the finer

points of pottery.

We are looking forward to another session of draw-

ing with Mr Collier later this term.
